From what I have heard about the shortness of the game the repetitive nature of the gameplay and the rubbish story I'm not surprised they gave Mirrors Edge such a low score. They can be very mean at times.

Mirrors Edge is starting to sound a bit like Assasins Creed ie good idea, but perhaps not implemented as well as it could have been.

I'd like to see their reasoning for giving Fallout 3 a 7. I love the game but there's enough flaws in there to justify a lower score than the gushing exclusives from "Super ultra OFFICIAL Eggbox" Magazines. At least they weren't in the Oblivion bukkake (gave it an 8 iirc) because to give it a perfect score then this a 7 would be bullshit.

Hopefully when it flops they won't ever again rely on one gameplay gimick and horrifically shiny new-gen laminated graphics. Then they might make a longer, well thought out game with a decent storyline.

Yeah but there's very little consistency between issues. They just do it for dramatic effect.

Is Crysis Warhead honestly worth an 8 when Mirror's Edge gets a 5? Mirror's Edge should at least get two points for originality... which means the rest of the game is worth 3? I mean it's not severely broken or anything. The main criticisms have only really been about story and pacing.
